This Commentary takes critical account of recent writing on the Odes . It deals with detailed questions of interpretation, and shows how Horace combined the tact of a court-poet with a humane individualism, and how he wrote within a literary tradition without losing a highly personal voice. Though the book is not intended for beginners, the editors aim throughout at clarity.

This text sets out to illuminate all the central themes of Roman satire. It offers a synchronic assessment of different aspects of the work of Lucilius, Horace, Persius, and Juvenal: their aims; their styles; and their views on freedom of speech, class patronage, Greeks, and sex. In addition, it contains a sympathetic presentation of the poetry of Lucilius.
